Setup question.  I got a reasonable California setup going last
night but I'm tight at the apex.  It's wearing the living ***
out of my left front.  I have been away from Nascar for awhile
and have forgotten what do to correct that.  Anyone help??

I'm getting in pretty good, little feather braking about 1/3
through, I'm hititng the apex where I want to almost every time.
As my tires wear, I get really, really tight right at the apex.
On fresh tires I can comfortably carry 166mph through turns 1 and
2 apex (more if I thrash it), and about 163 through turns 3 and 4
apex.  Those are comfortable "rhythm" speeds not abusing the
tires.  However, after only about 20 laps, I start dropping off
as I get viscously tight.  Interestingly, my entrance and exits
seem fairly unaffected even though I get so much pushier in the
apex??  Is that wierd?

I am running a fairly standard setup, 20 lbs cross weight, 51%
front weight,  65 degree spoiler, pretty standard fair.  I did
adjust the shocks from the standard ACE setup... maybe that's
where I did it?   Any advice would be welcome, thanks.  I just
forget the general concepts of loosening up in the center of a
corner.  It's especially bummer because I'm so great getting in
and out I don't want to change the car :), :(

Try this one. It is very fast and constant.

Good racing,

Roberto
